Burning the Midnight Oil to Fight Climate Change

More than two dozen US senators will get together for an all-nighter on March 10. No, they are not studying for mid-terms. It’s more important than that: they are talking about climate change and how it is impacting every one of us on the planet.

Led by Senators Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), 30 senators will make the point that Congress needs to put aside Washington gridlock and get serious about tackling climate change.

They’ll talk about how local communities are already feeling the impacts of climate change, how our planet’s wildlife and ecosystems are being forever changed, and why it’s critical we answer the call of the world’s leading scientists demanding climate action.
